The PediaSuit Protocoltm

Presentation

PediaSuit Protocol™ is an intensive therapy with a holistic approach to the treatment of
individuals with neurological disorders like cerebral palsy, developmental delays, traumatic brain
injuries, autism and other conditions which affect a child's motor and/or cognitive functions.

Intensive PediaSuit Protocol Therapy combines the use of a suit with Intensive Physical
Therapy, and consists of up to 4 hours of therapy a day, 5 days a week for 3 or 4 weeks. This
intensity results in improvements achieved sooner than with traditional physical therapy (ie.
½ to 1 hour per day, 1 to 3 days per week).

How it works

The suit aligns the body as close to normal as possible. Reestablishing
the correct postural alignment plays a crucial role in normalizing muscle tone, sensory and vestibular
function. The Ability Exercise Unit is used to train
a child to gain the ability to isolate the desired movements and strengthen the muscle groups responsible
for that movement. The Ability Exercise Unit allows one to gain range of motion, muscle and joint
flexibility, as well as functional skills. This is a structured program that enhances growth and
development of each individual.

therefore it decreases the forces acting on the joint itself and helps eliminate pain and further
joint damage)
